Ride the Rails

Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Consciously Woman

 

the wind howled up the back of the mountain

 

summiting into the arms of the fog

she was coaxed into the river of the valley

where she caught the next train

 

the prairies were beautiful

in the night

around the slow curves

she stretched her arms into the wheat fields

their softness like fur

 

she arrived in the city

soothed

curious

the sunlight there too
